Sure it does. Its perfectly acceptable for there to be a range of embodiments.
In the inventive mouse trap, the resilient member could be implemented with a:
Spring,
Rubber Band,
Elastic strap, etc.
The spring may be a helical spring, a leaf spring, or any other spring. Such
springs may be made of steel, spring steal, beryllium, titanium or plastic.
Plastic springs may be made of nylon, neoprene or any of a wide variety of
plastics...Rubber bands may be made of latex, ..... Elastic straps can be made
from....
Some patents list all the options for every single component. Those become
unreadable very quickly. Others just "vaguely" say resilient member.
If you want to make a mouse trap like the one patented and you want to use a
neoprene spring, you whine that the patent is vague. But it isn't, its just
broad and practically drafted. Those of ordinary skill in the art know what
resilient member means and the inventive nature of the trap does not rely on
what configuration of resilient member is used, so there is no need to belabor
the point.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
